Rite of Initiation

I am as you will be.
I was as you are now.
Indomitable is the cold
That will take you down.

Fodder for black earth
And shadows deep,
Fed false promises of tranquil and eternal sleep.

Flesh drips... pooling primordial slime.
The body rips apart... from the soul and the mind.
Envelopment... the black earth draws you in.
A final chance... for something better to begin.

Rotting.
Liquefied.
Discarded, outdated, spent.
To lie with memories.

Don't be fooled.
It can't be bought.
Look for life's meaning not in words,
But in deeds you've wrought.

Flesh drips... pooling primordial slime.
The body rips apart... from the soul and the mind.
Envelopment... the black earth draws you in.
A final chance... for something better to begin.
